(gemaras, I get the sense that they weren't as careful in preserving the text.) there might be one or two things in LXX (which is admittedly a Targum) and/or Dead Sea Scrolls (which has its own distinctive features) that we find parallels to in Yerushalmis, that make it rather plausible that this was indeed the text before Chazal. E.g. the famous question of how the words of the chacham are the same as the rasha, which disappears when we see that their version of the pasuk had otanu. But specifics don't really come to mind at the moment...<br /><br />kt,<br />joshjoshwaxmanhttp://parsha.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589564.post-26399077039713083872010-02-09T23:01:12.727-05:002010-02-09T23:01:12.727-05:00Very interesting.
